Kenyan Engineer Says His Projects Kept Stalling Until Everything Started Moving Smoothly

For years, Dennis, a civil engineer based in Nakuru, said he couldn’t understand why nothing in his career ever seemed to run smoothly. He described himself as skilled, experienced, and trusted by many clients—but whenever he started a project, unexpected problems would arise. Supplies would be delayed for weeks, approvals would get stuck, machinery would fail, or workers would quit suddenly. At first, he said he blamed poor planning or bad luck, but after years of the same recurring pattern, he suspected something deeper was at play.

Dennis recalled one major turning point: a road construction project he had secured after months of negotiation suddenly stopped halfway when a key partner withdrew for no clear reason. He said he lost money, time, and confidence. That same month, another project he supervised in Gilgil was halted because of strange misunderstandings among the workers. Everywhere he looked, progress seemed to collapse. He said he felt cursed with constant delays.

He added that what confused him most was seeing other engineers with less experience complete projects without issues while he struggled constantly. Even smaller assignments that should have taken weeks stretched into months, frustrating clients and causing them to doubt his reliability. He said sleepless nights became more frequent, and the mounting stress made him consider leaving engineering altogether.

One evening, after yet another stalled project, Dennis said he sat alone in his car outside a site in Nakuru West, wondering how much longer he could endure the constant setbacks. He opened his phone and began reading stories from people who had experienced similar unexplained obstacles. Many of the testimonies, he explained, mirrored exactly what he was going through—things going wrong without a clear reason, progress halting just when success seemed near, and an energy that appeared to pull everything backward.
